Foxes, the symbiotic son of fate and death, the eldest son of the Crow Queen, a noble man born with divine power. Many elders who are familiar with him believe that this child is likely to become a new god.

A native god unique to the plane of shadow.

Foxes has always believed that he will inevitably inherit part of his mother's or father's power and become a glorious secondary god. The so-called secondary gods are compared to those main gods who have established a complete pantheon.

The secondary gods' acceptance of the canonization and leadership of the main god is an indispensable part of a complete pantheon.

Of course Foxes knew that his father had the qualifications to establish a divine system, but he was reluctant to share his power with others, even if the sharer was his own relative, while his mother had the ambition to establish an independent divine system, but she

Insufficient strength.

When the catastrophe of the gods came, Foxes, as a divine creature, immediately felt the terrible restrictions. Of course, he was not qualified to go to the temples to witness the beginning of the catastrophe of the gods, so he could only worry about it.

Feeling the fear and suffering of divine power.

Now Foxis is even more desperate, because he finds that he is about to become his father's puppet. Naraku, the god of death, is not a kind god. On the contrary, she despises all rules related to family ties, except for having some unspeakable feelings for the Crow Queen.

In addition to her friendship, she even harbors more malice toward her own cub.

When the Raven Queen disappeared (actually banished to the Prime Material Plane), Foxes was completely frightened and carried out an evil sacrificial ritual with all his might, sacrificing his brothers and sisters of the same origin to himself

Her father prayed to her to bring back the Crow Queen.

Unfortunately, Death God Naraku is also wandering in the main material plane at this moment. Foxes's sacrifice did not receive a response, but it also exposed the location of Death God Naraku to other interested people.

When William and the others appeared in front of the soul vortex, Foxes felt that his majesty had been seriously provoked and offended. Of course, it was not ruled out that this son of God vented his emotions by venting his anger on others.

Foxes grabbed his double-edged battle ax - the destined disaster, and then walked towards William and others with steps that he would not recognize. Foxes was fearless, even if there was a whole ax standing in front of him.

Army, he is also confident to kill these rabble, after all, the rebels will not die well, this is the choice of fate.

He swung the battle ax of disaster and struck William carelessly. Then in his surprised eyes, William easily avoided the attack, and then repaid Foxes with a big blow in a very "friendly" manner.

Zhang Er's spear opened a shallow blood groove on Foxis's handsome face, and let him feel what it means to be slapped in the face with a stick. Foxis was confused at first. As a noble man,

The Son of God has never experienced such humiliation in his life, so much so that he was unable to react for a moment.

Then Foxis's face turned red, he roared angrily, and the battle ax of disaster in his hand chopped at William randomly. Unfortunately, this unorganized attack had no threat to William at all.

William walked around Foxes easily, and from time to time gave this angry, stupid guy some exciting teases, making him even angrier.

The two of them were fighting each other in an almost playful way. Foxes really wanted to kill William, but he couldn't do it, but William held back. Of course, William had many ways to kill Foxes quickly, but

He felt that this was not a wise choice, and there should be a better way to deal with this stupid guy later.

Anger is an intense emotion, but intense emotions cannot last long. Therefore, after William and Foxes fought for a while, the anger that was originally filled in Foxes' chest slowly cooled down.

After that, I felt inexplicable irritability and deep weakness.

Foxes had all the divine power, but he was like a baby holding a giant blade. Although he had the qualifications to slay a dragon, he did not have the talent to slay a dragon. He found that he had no way to deal with William, a human who looked much shorter.

.

No matter whether he was crazy, furious, turbulent or calm, it could not cause William the slightest trouble. In the end, after these emotions disappeared, only Foxes' mind was left with despair and loss.

William used the method of smashing the monument, and severely threw Foxes to the ground for more than ten times. The once arrogant son of God finally lost his will to fight, and in the end he could only surrender.

If she were lying on the ground in despair, she would look like a frustrated little daughter-in-law who was willing to lie down and let others ravage her.

After William defeated Foxes, he stopped paying attention to him. Instead, he and the old mage walked to the soul vortex. Here is a rock protruding from the cliff, shaped like an eagle's beak. Of course, it can also

Said it was a crow's mouth.

There is an altar high platform with ritual tracks on the Yingzui Rock. If anyone wants to interfere with the soul vortex, this is the best place.

Although William knew he had found his destination, he still asked the old mage: "Are you sure this is our destination?"

Yin Erminster pretended to be hesitant and said: "It should be so. After all, this is my first time here. But during the safe period, we'd better borrow the identity of the shadow spirit, otherwise we will go directly with our true identity, and unpredictable things may happen."

question."

Next to her, Dove interjected: "I'd like to expose my sickle and hoe early, and I'll scare the goblins."

Exposing the sickle and hoe early will scare the goblins. This is a Faerûn proverb, which means to scare off the grass and scare the snake.

Goblins like to take the opportunity to rob farmers when they are harvesting. Some smart goblins will foresee the arrival of the harvest season even when farmers are playing with farm tools, and then gather their tribes in advance to prepare for plunder. This also gives people the opportunity to eliminate thieves in advance.

William nodded and quite agreed with the idea of ​​the old mage and Dove. However, if he wanted to borrow the identity of the shadow spirit, he had to use the power of the shadow spirit. The three of them looked back at the army of shadow spirits behind them, but saw the little one

The daughter of Ercrow was stepping on Foxis's face with her little feet. Although Foxis could crush this little thing into a pulp with just a wave of his hand, he had no intention of resisting and just used his palms.

Cover your face and let the other person humiliate you.

William slowly walked up to the two people who looked like enemies but were actually brothers and sisters, and said: "We are brothers and blood, close relatives, why should we treat each other poorly! Little girl, you are belittling your brother, but you are actually hurting yourself.

What a prestige.”

The crow girl's eyes widened and she replied, "It's up to you to take care of it!" But in the end, she let go of the trick on Foxes.

Like a little adult, the Crow Girl said to William arrogantly: "Human! You and your people have saved me, and I want to reward you. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want to get?"

William shook his head and said: "Saving you is just a casual thing. We have a purpose here, but we don't need your so-called reward."

The Crow Girl was so angry that her little face bulged into a bun, and Dasheng shouted: "Bad human being! Are you looking down on me? I am the biological daughter of the Crow Queen, and I am the proud daughter of heaven who has achieved the righteousness of destiny! No! One can refuse my reward!"

Although William didn't want to play house with this unreasonable little girl, he still had some flexibility.

He said: "In that case, please lend us a few available identities. We and our group need to disguise themselves as shadow spirits and sneak into another dimension to save people. Please also find a few reliable shadow spirits to lend to us." Imitate it.”

The Crow's Daughter, however, had the face of a child in October, changing at will. She immediately replied happily: "That's right! Well, since you asked sincerely, then I will accept it." I promise you. Hey! Fool Foxis, go help me prepare rewards for them, remember! Want the best!"

Although the Crow Daughter seemed a bit unreliable, Foxes was very capable in doing things. He very conscientiously helped William and his team select a few shadow spirits to be imitated, and then brought them to William and others. around.

The imitation of shadow spirits to infiltrate the lair of the spirit world shapechangers is different from the transformation and infiltration into any other place, because the spirit world shape changers themselves are masters of shape transformation and infiltration, so their prevention in this regard is the best.

If you want to transform and sneak into the lair of the shapeshifters in the spirit world, the most important point is to ensure that the pretender and the disguised object are in the same place, and you must also ensure that the disguised object is real, including that it cannot be a dead life form.

Otherwise, it will trigger the final defense mechanism of the spirit skinchanger's lair - spirit jump.

William's method was to use the power of spells to disguise themselves as the corresponding shadow spirits, and then team up with the disguised prototype shadow spirits to go to the ethereal world. This time, it seemed that the shadow spirits were all twins, which was difficult. It can deceive the guards of the clever skinchanger's lair, but it can conceal the true identity of the infiltrator to the greatest extent.

With the old mage Yin Erminster around, it was not that difficult to change one's appearance, and they were quickly ready to sneak into the ethereal world.

However, what surprised William and others was that Foxes actually joined their team. Of course, he was obviously the leader of all shadow spirits, which also made their infiltration plan more rigorous.

William looked back at the Crow Daughter, only to find that Foxes was also secretly looking back at the Crow Daughter, but his eyes were full of helplessness and pain.

William sighed and did not touch the idea of ​​the Crow Queen's family dispute. Instead, he jumped into the soul vortex, and his companions behind him also jumped down one after another.

Although the etheric realm is also a transitional plane, its characteristics are completely different from the shadow plane and the astral plane. The etheric realm looks like a copy of the main material plane, with every scene, every object, every plant and tree. There is no difference between them, but most of these scenery, plants and trees have only their own appearance, and the insides are also generally the same. They are more like models made of fat and soft wax. You only need to poke them lightly with your hand to find out. the difference.

There are not as many species of life in the etheric realm as there are in the main material plane, but they are not a few. Among them, the most numerous and widely distributed is a small alien creature called the spiritual beetle.

Ethereal beetles are the true indigenous inhabitants of the ethereal realm. They are at the bottom of the ethereal food chain. All predators living in the ethereal realm will basically feed on the ethereal beetles, even those who change shape.

.

William and the others encountered this alien creature as soon as they entered the ethereal world.

They are as big as a basketball, with six tentacle-like legs and a carapace with swirling patterns and veins like amethyst. The carapace has gorgeous color patterns, which makes the spirit beetles look particularly dazzling.

.

But if someone underestimates the attack power of the spirit beetle, that would be a big mistake.

These timid ethereal beetles always try to escape trouble, but they have a pair of very vicious mandibles that can be used to tear through plane boundaries. When the ethereal beetle attacks an enemy with these jaws, it will cause something like

The effect of endless bleeding.

In the etheric realm, wherever there are a large number of spiritual beetles, there will always be some real physical buildings, and these places are also areas where spiritual predators often visit or even occupy.

Through the positioning of the soul vortex, William and the others almost directly approached the target of the spirit world shapeshifter's lair. Here is a landform of towering snow peaks, severe cold, falling snow, and ice and snow trails that circle between the peaks.

Of course, most of the scenery here is actually fake. William tried to touch the snow and rock walls around him with his hands, but found that they were all liquid substances, the so-called etheric substances, which are the intermediate states of matter composed of elements.

However, the severe cold is real, but it is not the severe cold of the etheric realm, but the low-temperature influence from the ice plane. As we have said, the etheric realm connects the main material plane and the elemental plane. William and the others are in

The location is the intersection area between the ethereal realm and the ice plane.

The low temperature made the Shadow Spirits quite uncomfortable, and William and the others were also affected. Of course, Selina was the one who had the most difficulty adapting to the climate here. After all, the Burning Hell she used to live in was a plane where high temperatures prevailed, and she suddenly came to

In such a cold place, this little girl almost collapsed on the spot.

Fortunately, William and the others had prepared relatively sufficient supplies in advance, and thick cold-proof clothing soon became everyone's standard equipment.

A group of eleven people, William, the old mage, Dove, Selena, Brunhild, Foxes and five real shadow spirits. Of course, except Foxes, everyone is a shadow spirit now.

They looked like they were walking with difficulty on an icy trail full of snow and icicles, walking step by step deeper into the snowy peaks.

And there is the lair of the spirit shapechanger who made a deal with Fenia.

As the apparent leader of the group, Foxes walked at the front without hesitation, and behind him was William who had transformed into a shadow spirit.

As Foxes walked away, he whispered: "Sir, thank you for saving my mother."

William said "hmm" and said nothing.

Foxis asked in surprise: "Aren't you curious that I actually call my sister my mother?"

William said: "There is nothing to be curious about. Gods come to the world and saints come to earth. I have seen this kind of thing... your sister is a saint. When I first saw her

That’s confirmed. I think no one else except the Crow Queen would choose the Crow Daughter as the carrier of the saint.”
